Abiotic Temperature Flashcards
What determines the localized behavior and interaction between community members in any ecosystem?
Ambient and Short-Term Temperature
What are partially responsible for many ecosystem factors such as soil regimes, vegetation, biomes, and etc.?
Large-scale Temperature
What are simple device that rely on a liquid inside a glass tube , and expands when heated and contracts when cooled?
Analog Thermometer
Around where is the temperature being measured by the analog thermometer?
Bulb
What is measured when thermometer is hold in air, at eye level, by the tube or body, but not in the bulb?
Ambient Air Temperature
What is measured when thermometer is hold in the water, with bulb totally submerged, by tube or body, but not bulb?
Water Temperature
What is measured when the thermometer is stick to the hole in ground, with the bulb in full contact with the bottom?
Soil Temperature
What measures the thermal radiation emitted by the surface?
Infrared Thermometer/ Temperature Gun
